Waveform Translation Features

WaveFormer Pro and DataSheet Pro support
over 55 different formats for importing and exporting
waveform data. Import waveform data from simulators, logic
analyzers, and timing analysis programs. Export waveforms
to VHDL, Verilog, SPICE, Pattern Generators, ATE, and FPGA
tools. These timing diagram editors also ship with a PERL
based scripting language that lets engineers create their
own import and export scripts to support waveform formats
used by custom test equipment and internally developed
software.

Writing your own scripts

You can write import and export scripts to support
waveform formats used by custom test equipment and internally
developed software. Also, SynaptiCAD can be hired to write the scripts.
Contact us via email:

and tell us what import/export formats that you would like us to add.

Waveperl is an extended version of the Perl language that contains additional functions for creating
and manipulating data structures inside WaveFormer. Waveperl scripts are compiled dynamically whenever
the script is run and executed by a perl interpreter embedded into WaveFormer. Waveperl scripts are
primarily intended to be used for waveform import/export operations, but users can also write scripts
to add new editing functions to WaveFormer.

Waveperl scripts are normal text files that can be created using your favorite text editor or Notepad.
The standard scripts that ship with WaveFormer contain comments that identify the most probable locations
for user modifications.For more information about Perl, go to the Perl Language Page.
